FireGL V5100: specs and benchmarks
Summary
ATI started FireGL V5100 sales 1 May 2004. This is a R400 architecture desktop card based on 130 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 128 MB of DDR memory clocked at 0.35 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 22.4 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 211 mm.
